Is this pre-seasoned with any type of oil and if so what oil has been applied (mineral, vegetable, etc.)? Thank you greatly!!

I actually don't use any oil, I put the dough in a cut open baggie and press it. That way it doesn't stick.

Mine did not come with any oil residue I could see, smell, or feel. It appears to have been pre-seasoned. I use a piece of plastic wrap when I make my tortillas and it works great-no sticking and no worrying about the cast iron darkening the tortilla. I think the big problem with funky grease was with the silver colored presses...?

I don't think it's pre seasoned. I didn't use it for several months and it shows rust!! Also when you use it if you don't put plastic sheet the dough sticks to it which is not very convenient. I knew the thing about using the plastic paper from comments before I bought it but didn't realize how inciponveninet it will be before I started using it. I wouldn't recommend buying this ....for a while I have been doing the manual process ...and this is now kinda another junk in the kitchen....

The pan arrives pre-seasoned. I apply unsalted butter or vegetable il before each use, and after cleaning the pan (just water, no detergent). My grandmother taught me to wash the pan right after use, dry it, apply a bit of oil, and tuck it back into the still hot oven. I just baked two loaves of bread, one in this pan and one in a Pyrex loaf pan. Both pans got vegetable oil applied before the dough went in. Only the Pyrex pan stuck a bit. The Lodge pan- NO sticking, bread just slipped out, beautifully brown.

I always lightly oil the skillet after each use. I actually put vegetable oil in a spray bottle and give it a squirt or two and then take a paper towel and wipe it on the inside of the pan. It builds up more of non-stick coating so your food doesn't stick. As for the seasoning the outside.... When I first got the skillet, I did oil the whole entire skillet (inside and outside) and then put it in the oven upside down in the oven to season it.... However, I don't oil the outside after every use.

Greetings, No seasoning required. We did a good cleaning before using to remove any sealers or debris.For cleaning, just regular care with no abrasive substances. Let the pan cool a bit before washing. We use the Le Creuset cleaner for the colored surfaces which occasionally get some burned fluid on them.Enjoy!

Mineral oil. It arrives with absolutely no moisture. Read up on caring for a bamboo cutting board.

The label says "cold pressed to preserve the natural nutritional content" so I believe it is not "refined" in the typical sense. It is a clear oil with a mild nutty taste. I keep it in the refrigerator at all times and it does not thicken. I use it for cooking, salad dressings, etc. Another excellent oil is avocado oil.

I brushed oil on it for the first use to season it...but no oil after that. I guess you could try it, but the instructions say to season it.

I couldn't find any contact information for the company directly, and I doubt you can get Amazon to contact for you. So whatever type of vegetable oil they've used will remain a mystery. However, even if you have allergies (e.g., soy or corn), by polymerizing it, I wouldn't think that any of the proteins responsible would remain. But if you have doubts, you can always follow directions on the internet to strip the seasoning or do it yourself. Or - even easier - just buy non-seasoned pans and do it yourself.

i find it stickier than older cast iron i had. but it is pre-seasoned. I just seem to need a lot more oil on it than I expected.

It is cast iron, so it needs seasoning before use. It may have been pre-seasoned, but I did it myself anyway. It is easy to do.

It has some kind of nonstick coating. Dunno if it's Teflon or not but it works well. I don't know what you mean by pre-seasoned, but it's not cast iron so my guess is no. It has a bare (silver) aluminum base where you can use it on stovetop. I occasionally use it in this way but my primary use for it is as a sous-vide vessel with the Dorkfood Sous Vide controller.

Yes it is pre-seasoned, looks to be a VERY good seasoning too. Teflon is flammable, so obviously it is NOT covered with teflon.

I would season it first-you can find good instructions on Internet. I soaked mine in eater the tub overnight then put it in oven on low heat for several hours-can't remember if I rubbed with olive oil or not

The instructions said to season with vegetable oil before the first baking. I used Pam and it came out fine. Subsequent times I used nothing and they popped right out. But the oil content in the food might make a difference too.

No it's not seasoned, simple spray it inside and out with cooking oil,, or just lightly coat it by hand. Then at about 150 degrees in oven for about 6 hours take it out and wipe it down, and it is seasoned. never wash it with any kind of soap, the season will be washed off but dry it and apply another light coat of oil. Usually just some cooking oil on a paper towel, not much, you will be able to see were it's getting covered.

Just a small amount of vegetable oil wiped around the inside of the pans after washing them out with hot water and dried after each use. They come already seasoned which is nice.

Hello Svetlana,Thank you for your inquiry. No they are not and do not need to be pre-seasoned. They are ready to use after the first wash. We do recommend using oil or margarine but nothing out of a spray can. Thank you for allowing me to be of service to you. Kind regards, Audrey Consumer Relations
